    I tried this Covid 19 Test and it truly works.

    A new and easy test for the horror of Covid 19 is doing the rounds and it's simple, quick and positive (or negative if you see what I mean).

    Take a glass and pour a decent nip of your favourite Single Malt Scotch into it; then see if you can smell it.

    If you can, then you are halfway there.

    Then drink it.

    If you can taste it then it is reasonable to assume you are currently free of the virus because the loss of the sense of smell and taste is a common symptom.

    I tested myself 7 times last night and was virus free every time thank goodness.

    I will have to test myself again today because I have developed a throbbing headache which can also be one of the symptoms.

    I'll report my results later.

    I'm currently testing myself with a can of Wake Up And Smell The Gose from Evil Twin Brewery. I'm happy to report that both myself and the wife could get the smells and taste from it. Less happy to report that my wife wasn't too happy with a tiny sip and wants more. She ain't getting it!!!!£3.50 for a 440ml can at Tesco's. If you're not into Gose's or sours don't buy it as you won't like it. If you do like Gose's and sours though, go ahead and treat yourself.

    I’ll have 2. 1 for me 1 for visitors.
    Joking aside. We stayed in a hotel in Dornoch Scotland .(groupon :)) Famous for its selection of whiskeys or is it whiskys. ( Scots can be a bit touchy over the spelling.) Mi bro in law paid £15 for a shot. ( me not liking whisky) But there were shots £200+. Wots all that abart.
    Bro in law said “it’s thy round”. I said “ars abart fcku off. Get thi ooern”

    Separate studies in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Harvard University, and the European Heart Journal all come to the same conclusion: A moderate amount of alcohol - maximum seven small glasses of whisky a week - will reduce to some degree the risk of heart disease and heart failure.30 Jun 2017

    Guess you’re risk free. not only does it test for Covid. It appears it’s Good for your heart. I Might even take a liking to it. :)
